Answer:

The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, is a small, pea-sized gland located at the base of our brains. It is referred to as the “master gland” of the human body, as it releases a variety of hormones that circulate our system and aid in maintaining our internal homeostasis.The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, is a small, pea-sized gland located at the base of our brains. It is referred to as the “master gland” of the human body, as it releases a variety of hormones that circulate our system and aid in maintaining our internal homeostasis.Altogether, the pituitary gland releases over 8 hormones, which control wide-ranging aspects of the body. The pituitary gland sits at the base of the brain. From here, it receives signals from the hypothalamus gland and secretes hormones into the bloodstream to act on the body. Disorders of the pituitary gland can affect a large number of body systems because the gland is responsible for controlling so many aspects of the body.The main function of the pituitary gland lies in its ability to make hormones that retain many of our bodily functions. The front (anterior) and back (posterior) lobes are the primary secretory glands. These glands are innervated by the nervous system. The pituitary gland also responds to signals within the extracellular fluid, such as the amount of dissolved solvent or the presence of other hormones.By responding to these signals and releasing the appropriate hormones, the pituitary gland plays a large role in coordinating many aspects of the body including metabolism, digestion, excretion, and many other factors. The pituitary gland releases at least 8 different hormones, which are responses to different stimulations of the gland. The pituitary gland is one of the most active.The pituitary gland lies roughly in the center of the human skull. It rests below the hypothalamus of the brain and behind the bridge of our noses. This location actually makes sense, in light of the hypothalamus’s role in fine-tuning the activity of the pituitary gland. This is made possible by the nerve fibers that span these two structures and allow for easy communication.

Likewise, a thin vascular connection that is forged within the pituitary stalk, or infundibulum, facilitates the hypothalamus’s control. Further, the pituitary gland itself is supplied by branches off of the internalcarotid artery. Its regulation is fine-tuned by a negative feedback relationship between the pituitary and hypothalamus.Structurally speaking, the pituitary gland is notably parsed into three sections: the anterior (front), intermediate, and posterior (back) lobes. Each can be described according to their unique functions. The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland has primary roles in the development of the human body. This involves secreting hormones that orchestrate our reproduction and sexual maturation. These hormones will control growth as well as activate the adrenal and thyroid glands and sexual organs.
